Why eight readl() calls instead of a loop? Additionally, please use
put_unaligned_be32() instead of open-coding it. Is the code below
equivalent to the loop above?

	while (length >= 16) {
		for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
			u16 w0 = readl(card + 0);
			u32 w1 = readl(card + 1);
			put_unaligned_be32(w0 | (w1 << 16), buf);
			card += 2;
			buf += 4;
		}
		length -= 16;
	}

Thanks,

Bart.
